“Humanity Greater than History”
A Practical Look at Living with Courage
and CovenantSunday November 17, 2024, 10:30 a.m.
Rev. Mitra Jafarzadeh and Rabbi Jonathan Cohen lead this service.
Rabbi Jonathan Cohen and Rev. Mitra Jafarzadeh have been friends for many years. In the past year, the two have been working together to bring our understanding of deep interfaith/intercultural work to the service of the larger community. How do we find ways across the divide? How do we cultivate healing in a hurting world? What might each of us do to help create deeper, more lasting justice so that everyone can thrive?
Rev Mitra Jafarzedeh, now retired from the UU ministry, focuses on using her skills in pastoring and coaching to help individuals and groups live with integrity and grace. Her company, Direct Light Consultation, uses individual coaching, group facilitation, and public speaking / teaching to help people move from good to better.
Jonathan Cohen is an Israeli born scholar and rabbi who served as faculty member, director of an academic center, campus dean, and senior rabbi. Jonathan has been a board member of arts, social service, and denominational as well as interfaith organizations. He brings extensive experience in teaching and mentoring, coaching, organizational consulting, governance support, fundraising and budgeting, human resources, project management, and community building and organizing.

“With Thanks for All Our Blessings”
Sunday November 24, 2024, 10:30 a.m.
Rev. Bill Gupton leads this service.
Sometimes it may be hard to believe, but we are extremely blessed and Thanksgiving calls us to acknowledge those blessings. Join the Heritage family this Thanksgiving Sunday for all the traditions you have come to expect (and maybe take for granted): a message of profound gratitude, lovely music from our choir, our annual Bread Communion, intergenerational community, and maybe even an update from Lake Hope.
If you would like to help out by providing one of our loaves of bread this Thanksgiving Sunday, please contact Rev. Bill at:

“Room at the Table”
Sunday, December 1, 2024 at 10:30 a.m.
Rev. Bill Gupton leads this service
This Thanksgiving weekend, many of us have welcomed others to our table – or have been guests at another’s table. This practice of hospitality – of welcoming – cuts across all cultures, religions, and eras. As such, it appears to be an innate expression of the human spirit, a sacred manifestation of our belief in the “inherent worth and dignity of every person.” Today, let us reflect on this practice, let us celebrate being welcomed at the table – and let us commit to making room at our table, for all those who seek sanctuary with us.

Guaranteed to be the most fun ever!
